Armenia, U.S. complete signing of TRIPP document

ArmInfo. Armenia and the United States have completed the signing of a framework agreement on strategic cooperation under the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project. This was announced by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, who remotely signed the previously initialed document.

Mirzoyan announced during a live broadcast broadcast by the Armenian Foreign Ministry that he had signed the TRIPP framework agreement between Armenia and the United States. According to him, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had previously signed it, subsequently sending it to Yerevan.

"Remember, a few days earlier, on May 26, it was initialed between me and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to Yerevan. Marco Rubio signed the document, it was delivered to Yerevan, and now I have signed it with the Armenian side, thus completing the remote signing of the document and making it ready for ratification," Mirzoyan stated.

As a reminder, on August 8, 2025, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a seven-point joint "Declaration of Peace" in Washington. It provides for a joint appeal to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to terminate the OSCE Minsk Process and related structures, as well as the creation of a transport corridor through Armenian territory that will connect Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave, surrounded by Armenia, Turkey, and Iran. On January 14, 2026, the Armenian Foreign Ministry published a framework document signed with the American side in Washington for the implementation of the Trump Roadmap for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP).

The 12-page document outlines the project's main objectives and operating mechanisms. Among other things, the document emphasizes Armenia's intention to authorize and support the establishment of the TRIPP Development Company. The company is expected to be responsible for the development of the TRIPP project, receiving an initial development right for a period of 49 years. Armenia intends to offer the United States a 74% stake in TRIPP Development Company, retaining 26%. This partnership is expected to be extended for another 50 years, with an additional ownership stake granted to the Armenian government, bringing its stake to 49%.
